A few months ago I was terrified of turning 30. I didn't want it to happen. But, as the day actually nears, I'm not scared at all...I'm actually looking forward to it. I suppose there are some negatives to it...like I really should give up the last of the graphic tees...but I've been doing some really good things with my life, and it looks like turning the big 3-0 can only make it better. Want some good things about turning 30?
1. Thirty really is the new 20...and I have proof...I've had some experience in the last couple of years of knowing first hand that 20 is the new 10.
2. I really am a grown up...and I feel like one for the first time. I feel like my struggle in life is in a whole new place...family, career, me, and good friends...those are top priority...instead of drinking, fun, and fun friends...
3. Thirty sounds better than the infamous out in la-la land 29.
4. I look better at 30 than I did at 15.
5. I feel in control.
6. I see now what all those other 30 year olds were thinking when I was younger and trying to impress the 30 year olds with how cool I was...they didn't think I was cool...they knew better...and now I do...go to a theatre on a Saturday night if you don't know what I'm talking about, and watch all the teenagers being obnoxious.
7. Things are just a whole lot smoother...as my hairstylist Jeff told me when I got my hair cut this weekend..."It really does get better after 30, trust me, I'm 40." I do trust him...hell nothing could be harder than the last 20 years...
So...I was really looking forward to the class reunion...it's coming at a good time...right after I've gotten out of a seriously bad relationship, and moving on...so, what a great opportunity to meet new friends and hang out with old...but on the other hand...after coming out of a seriously bad relationship where I gained a whole bunch of weight in the last year...I'm afraid I haven't taken off nearly as much as I wanted to. Why, oh why couldn't this reunion have happened two years ago when I was in the best shape of my life...or in 6 more months when hopefully I'll be back there...Whatever...I'm just going with it, and I am really excited!!!
